Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade testified at a hearing that they had engaged in a romantic relationship but rejected the idea that Willis improperly benefited from it as lawyers for Trump and co-defendants alleged.
By Kate Brumback and Alanna Durkin Richer, Associated PressSpecial prosecutor Nathan Wade looks on during a hearing on the Georgia election interference case, March, 1, 2024, in Atlanta.
Wade offered his resignation in a letter to Willis, saying he was doing so “in the interest of democracy, in dedication to the American public and to move this case forward as quickly as possible.” “We will use all legal options available as we continue to fight to end this case, which should never have been brought in the first place,” Trump attorney Steve Sadow said.
“Put differently, an outsider could reasonably think that the District Attorney is not exercising her independent professional judgment totally free of any compromising influences. As long as Wade remains on the case, this unnecessary perception will persist.” Trump, the Republicans’ presumptive presidential nominee for 2024, has denied doing anything wrong and pleaded not guilty.
